Demand for a product can sometimes be so great that it puts a huge financial burden on a company by way of inventory (buying it or having it made) or even securing and stabilizing a supply chain that they are then unable to recoup the total cost and go under. This happens everyday.

I own a candle + home fragrance company and have had a ‘boon’ nearly backfire on me twice now in the form of a specific item being featured for Mother’s Day on a very large platform without any warning. These people were ordering in CRAZY DROVES and it was difficult to keep up with demand, quality, production and…

This is actually incredibly common for smaller brands who find themselves with surprise hit (ETA: Kate bought this dress off the rack—Issa didn’t know about it until pics hit the news; this was not a commission).

Actual tears streaming down my face crying over this support from the Muslim community to the Jewish community. I’ve been calling for my fellow Jews to stand up and support our Muslim brothers and sisters against Islamophobia. Our two groups have a ridiculous amount in common and we should be standing side-by-side.…
